encoding of opendata.md

[ashander]

I'm not sure if this is really an issue, but in pushing #24, my diff ended up with lines like this:

--   [neotoma](https://github.com/ropensci/neotoma) (not on CRAN): Programmatic R interface to the Neotoma Paleoecological Database. [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/ropensci/neotoma)
+-   <pkg>neotoma</pkg>: Programmatic R interface to the Neotoma Paleoecological Database. [Source on GitHub](https://github.com/ropensci/neotoma)^M

I'm not sure if I induced the DOS encoding somehow, or if my editor was just staying consistent with previous encoding from @leeper

This may be worth mentioning in contrib guidelines

Hmm...weird. Might have been me. I was having trouble with Make when I committed, so maybe there was some implicit encoding issue introduced that I didn't notice.

Yes, looks like the initial commit of opendata.md did have this encoding:

~/code/opendata (master)$ git show 9bb6 -- opendata.md

+This task view contains information about using R to obtain, parse, manipulate, create, and share open data. The focus here is on data discovery, data archiving, open data available in R packages, and packages designed for working with specific types of open data. Much open data is available on the web, and the [WebTechnologies](http://cran.r-project.org/web/views/WebTechnologies.html) TaskView addresses how to obtain and parse web-based data. There is obvious overlap between the two TaskViews, so some packages are described on both.^M
+^M
+Another key issue in a data-focused TaskView is the meaning of "open" data. This TaskView covers many types of data that come with varying degrees of usage restrictions from public domain (or CC-0) data that is useable for any purpose to "freely available" data that is available at no cost but may have licenses that are not strictly speaking "open". Users should investigate the terms of use and licensing of any data referenced here before using it for any particular application.^M

I'll close this for now. We can revisit if this crops up in the future (e.g. if someone contributes a patch that doesn't respect the encoding)
